This week’s Media Create sales are now in from Japan. The biggest news comes in the hardware charts, where both the 3DS and Wii U take glory at the top of the board. The 3DS, a consistently great selling console in Japan, has sold over 120k units, while the Wii U gets a good bump in sales from 28.5k last week to almost 50k (48, 762) this week.

Yeah look up “3ds will fail” from two three years ago it’s exactly the same scenario as the wii u now , the articles(especiallythe patcher one’s) , and comments are hilarious now…I bet alot of those people feel real smart…. fanboys suck

It’s my first time saying it :) since I’ve played on the Wii u this year I know it is an excellent console. And sooner or later people will go around the medias lies and try it out for themselves.

The Ps4 is also excellent, but is directed at an other kind of game interest. But Sony does not have the problem with getting sabotaged by media blatantly negative untrue statements. That makes selling a produkt much more easier.

Since I’m playing games for the fun, experience and to get more ideas for my 3d animation (hobby for now). It makes me a neutral gamer which does not takes sides in console wars. I like to see the consoles do well so the companies competitive marketing continues.

Competitive marketing brings better deals for consumers. I know this because I’m in the middle of a same kind of marketing at my work. I’ve seen Wii u numbers raising the last months even outside Japan, but only time will tell if it holds the momentum.

Nintendo games have always sold well in the UK. The DS sold 10 million units and the wii over 7 million units. The 3DS is selling well in the UK, lts of 3DS games have been right up there in the charts all year, as have quite a few Wiiu games.

The UK doesn’t hate Nintendo and there is many gamers with good taste in the UK, just as there is in the US or Japan or anywhere else. I know a lot of gamers over here who have an exceptional taste in Gaming.

Fifa is absolutely massive here, after all the UK is where Football was invented and we have the best football league in the world. So naturaly, millions of people have Fifa. I got it on PS4 and I have PES on 3DS, I also play lots and lots of other games as do many others like me in the UK.

stop making up bullshit the whole world knows that the UK hates Nintendo. this is proven in the sales chart year after year . the 3ds is currently struggling software wise and those sales charts proves it. we know the Wii U is not being sold very well in that country due to hatred for Nintendo. The 3ds is still in deep trouble over there so don’t give us that bullshit that Nintendo is not hated in your country

Nintendo games do shocking here in Britain. You’re delusional to think otherwise. I know absolutely no one with a Wii U, and incredibly few people with a 3DS. We live in a nation of sheep unfortunately.

Numbers says that Nintendo never sells in UK; even Wii numbers were a console reports only 6.5% of its total numbers in UK. FIFA and CoD are in the top spots; even more weeks than in the US. So yes, the only place Nintendo has to work now is UK and Europe. WiiU has no EA support and no PES so it will be difficult. What I DONT UNDERSTAND IS WHY A GAME THAT ONLY UPDATES THE ROSTER IS ALWAYS IN THE TOP SPOT??. I mean, at least CoD or BF change some things but FIFA. If videogames follow this trend we will witness another crash

This is wonderful. Mostly because the Wii U is selling but also because… lets be honest. The best thing for selling a Wii U is a Wii U. The more systems that are out there, the more people playing. Playing is what gets people hooked on that Nintendo charm.

Me too, I do believe WiiU sales in January and february will be poor but; hey, this is good news for Nintendo and the WiiU owners. More consoles out there more games to us!!! Happy to see this numbers!! ^^

mario is doing good, dragon quest did well on both thats good. The wiiu got a big jump due to dragon quest hopefully the wii u will do well in japan this hoilday, also america. UK…not sure how they work, they have low install base to see any sales there.

I want to know how Bravely Default sold in Europe. It’s fucking amazing, it’s like a game from some alternate reality where Square Enix weren’t shit, and this was their Final Fantasy, is so good, i just hope the sequel gets localised too

The Wii U has not been fine for months. The last few months for Wii U have been disastrous. Only now is the console starting make a turnaround on the back of 3D World. The sales will most likely plummet down to under 10 000 next week in Japan.

According to VGChartz WiiU sales are steady and fine since october (Ok, one month xD). The point here is that too many people are not happy because they want to see the WiiU always as a fail. You will see good months and bad months from here; BUT I doubt I’ll se this console as a fail

Actually, although you will see trees decorated in some areas(probably not in homes) I don’t think most people receive presents on Christmas. At least in my experience as an exchange student, my host family just had a cake that said Merry Christmas.

I doubt it. The Wii U’s sales have been boosted the past couple of weeks thanks to the release of Super Mario 3D World. Pikmin 3 had a similar effect for the few weeks after it came out in Japan. After everybody had gotten their Wii U and copy of Pikmin 3 the sales nosedived. This will most likely be the situation with Mario.

7 weeks, then we awaited Zelda Wind waker HD, here that was sells greatness. Japan picked up with the bundles and games games games. Great games Super Mario 3D world 38/40 Famitsu baby! veryone else gave it a 10/10.

@NB well they aren’t really “sequals” unless its a title like X, X-2 but every new final fantasy has new characters, story, a little changed battle system and new world so it’s always a fresh new game but they started fucking up after 10, 11-ass, 12-ass, 13-ok. @retro, yea its true we only say that cuz they’re both ex soldiers, emo/serious personality

Yeah, the last FF I’ve played was three and seven never touched the series that much after. The rpg I’ve been playing the most is xenoblade shits on all the last FF games that have come out it has a great story with more likeable characters

My only wierd little worry is: I hope Nintendo doesn’t see this as “Huh, I guess they really liked that Cranky Kong reveal- that must be why Wii U’s sellin’ like hotcakes!”
*Retro’s next 8 games are Donkey Kong*

Donkey kong was retros call and who knows that may be the side project. I really would like to retro due Fzero or starfox over another metroid at this moment. I say have one more DK country make it a side project then give the ape a break

At this point, anything for mature gamers would be welcome. There’s too much ‘cute’ coming out of Nintendo. All the franchises/ips they’re staying away from are the ones I crave! Yes, Fzero or Metroid or X would be much appreciated.

Ignoring Pikmin 3 was top ten longer than Knack. Knack dropped faster than Lego City undercover. 2nd week Lego City was still top ten. Then pikmin 3 brought the game back to too ten. Pikmin 3 made top 10 globally unlike Knack.

Most of those games irrelevant? Ignoring everything he listed but DS Ex, W101 mad top ten best seller in the US, Japan and Europe. Ray man Legends doesn’t count since its multi plat but then again I’ll leave it up to you since it Wii U version brought the most revenue.

the next consoles from the big 3, wii u ps4 and xbox one. nintendo decided to compete with last gen with wii u though and thats why wii (hahahahah get it) say its a last gen console, because its a fishers price vacuum toy.

Next gen is just next. Its not define by power. If the power of hardware stoped,how would we define a gen. its next gen though some people will say its not when it clearly is. put honestly pc fucks all console so this console war bs is pointless

Real next gen? Icy boy you are so wrong about Wii U’s hardware. Yes right now Ps4 graphics are the best. However in the long run, Ps4 has very little room to increase its limits. Wii U is not close to that brick wall yet. Also, you never even seen nothing graphically since you only got SMBU and Luigi U. So of course you would assume Wii U is not next gen. Pikmin 3 is a different story.

Why would I pay to buy NFSU to hold a button and steer with the analog stick? Same thing for PS4 version just prettier graphics. But hold “x” to go and use the analog stick to steer and your mini map to show you the design of themap and what palace you are in. Then if you reverse a rear camera will display. Oh yeah I’m paying $60 for that uninnovative racing game.

Who’s the stupid one? All these people who love Nintendo and are here enjoying Nintendo news in a Nintendo related website, or you who doesn’t like Nintendo and is here to troll every day like the loser you are? Wii U did great this week in Japan, Super Mario 3D World can’t be irrelevant when it got amazing scores. Grow up.

You also said it would be swiped off the top ten charts like Pikmin 3. Really quick. Remember you brought up. We fanboys said Pikmin 3 would increase sells. It didn’t. Lost Worlds would increase sells it didn’t. Now because 3D World proved you wrong you don’t want to admit to it. And as a system seller in Japan. I don’t know what numbers in Japan define a system seller since it never sold this many units before. And neither do you. I just have to wait until sales mature globally on all consoles to get an idea what a system seller is and what isn’t. A year ago Wii U was selling like crazy too. But of course you forgot.

Now a system seller in Japan is only 3DS since it is always at the top globally. It did lose to the Ps4 once. But Ps4 sales areto immature to consider it a system seller. Wii U is too uunpridictale to determine if it is selling good or bad since sells appear to be increasing. But what’s Wii U’s max in sales that’s the question.

Again you are twisting what I said. I said you fanboys said pikmin 3 would save the Wii U it didn’t, WWHD didn’t, sonic didn’t, and now Mario didn’t I never said those games WOULDN’T SELL I said they wouldn’t save the Wii U and none of those did and Mario is repeating pikmin history so I wasn’t wrong and you are just trying to twist what I said

As for your bottom line. You know NSMBU hasn’t been at top ten yet still sold over a million in less than a year. So with 3D Mario world coming from 2nd to 7th Kent like Pikmin 3 sales. Therefor your bottom line is weak since 3D Mario is the best seller on eshop. You did know there are more than one option to buying video games on 2013 didn’t you?

What you mean Wii U is declining in sales? Didn’t you compare Oct, Nov sales? 3D Mario got the console alone with no help from 3rd party to 6 figures. Others depend on 3rd party. Amazing how 3rd party games do better than exclusives on Sony and Microsoft. Why is that?

Actually its not the hardware that makes a person attached to the aconsole but the software. TThat’s why I’m shocked Vita is not increasing in areas the PS4 is selling at. If I owned a PS4 I’d buy the vita to get the most out of my hardware and experience the 2nd screen. What gives its an cool feature. Plus you can take it further than the GamePad.

Maaan I miss fighting my pals on 360 though…they was a lot of fun…good thing I’m apart of their group on facebook so I can still talk to those bastards. ID is Snowman009 on 360 and my first wii u (and still have)

MONDOMANRIQUE vs Snowman009 (me being the blue hugo)

Snowman009 vs MoeBEASTMode (me: akuma)

Snowman009 vs TheVitaminD
(Ryu)

CameleonSauce20 vs Snowman009 (akuma once again)

I tell ya man, I loved fighting rather I lost or won…wish I could show you my matches on street fighter x tekken…

Please Understand that the Wii U is starting to do pretty well. I’m glad that we saw an increase although I’m not sure about Attack on Titan being so high in the rankings….3DS continues to stomp on the competition and completely pulverize them. I’m loving the 3DS and its continued success

This is great! Lets hope the wii u sales keep up.I am a bit surprise though, I know DQ does good in japan but I thought DQX Wii U was going to flop like DQX Wii because of its much much smaller install base.
